Application Guide
Universal “C” Sensor (V1707)
The ‘C’ Sensor is designed specifically for use in the larger tissue areas. It has brighter LED’s and therefore will
shine through thicker tissues. The ‘C’ Sensor can effectively be applied to the tongue or lip of larger dogs and
horses. It can also be applied across the Achilles tendon, across the metatarsals or metacarpals of cats and
dogs, on vulva, tails, and across the front leg of smaller animals. The tissue must be at least as thick as the space
between the two LED’s on the ‘C’ Sensor to get an SpO
2
reading.

Measured values for oximetry (%SpO
2
and PPR) will be displayed in the SpO
2
parameter box and an SpO
2
waveform, or plethysmogram, will appear on the display.
